This was a different rockstar story. Dex's Kinky Shine band mates are typical rock stars, they do all the dumb rockstar stuff, but not Dex, he's different. He's a mystery but he still hangs with the guys, and they kinda' look up to him as he is the the main force and writer for the band. His managers daughter is introduced to them so she can add Kinky Shine to her blog, and show the guys how to use the social media more.
Dex has found relations with women impossible, but after his past ruined any future with a woman, he had given up long ago. Until he meets Harley, the daughter of his manager, maybe this time he'll be able to connect.
I enjoyed this book. There's angst, drama, drugs, hot rock 'n' roll party's and sex, but still was a very different rock 'n' roll story. I liked it very much and I'm looking forward to reading more Kinky Shine. 5/5… (més)

By My Side by Stephanie Witter

I have to say I really enjoyed this novel By My Side by Stephanie Witter, the writing was great, the story flowed well and I enjoyed all the characters. Like most romance novels, boy meets girl, they have some issues then they get there happy every after. This story felt different to me. I really enjoyed how the story was based on what was going on in their lives and not entirely around the romance. I mean it is a romance novel none the less but I enjoyed the story quite a bit. I would also like to mention that Stephanie Witter writing is very good her writing was easy to read, and her words at times made me feel real emotions for the characters in this story. This is a story of love, loss, heartache and life feeling out of control.

Lily Saunders life is falling apart, her best friend Andy is acting weird, his older brother Gabe is home who Lily doesn’t get along with and her family life has fallen apart. When Lily needs her best friend for support he isn’t there for her. Gabe steps up and tries to help Lily anyway he can. Gabe has been away at school and Lily can see clearly that he is different, quiet and seems more mature. In the past Gabe and Lily have always argued and for some reason they just don’t get along. But Gabe listens and Lily finds she can tell him anything; they share with each other their sorrows and a real relationship is formed between them. It funny to see how similar they are and how much they paid attention to each other growing up, even if it was yelling at each other.

Lily’s mother, father and best friend have deserted Lily and she has no one but Gabe. This story is heartbreaking at times and I loved Lily’s character, strength and I felt so bad for her being so alone at a young age. But Gabe does step up most of the times and it fantastic reading. I have rated By My Side a 4.5 star rating and I really suggest anyone who reads this and enjoys YA Romance to pick this book up you will not be disappointed.

By My Side is a story of the bittersweet love between two people whose life is irrevocably changed.

The Main Character, Lily has a personality that I admire. She's strong, fun, albeit sarcastic but she uses her sarcastic side to protect herself.

Its a great read because Stephanie fully explored the character and the chemistry between Lily and Gabe.

Both has been giving sarcastic remarks for years and hated each other but the way Stephanie brings those two different yet same people made this book a fantastic read.

By My Side is a mixture of jealousy, death and abandonment and how both these characters went through the changes in their lives.

Stephanie, you're awesome. :D

Sincerely,
Selina.… (més)
